Special Ops hamster goes a hunting!!!
Who: The 4 inch hamster with either really bad eyesight or just plain
gone loopy...
When: Just after the hamster did the Tydee bowl thing.
Where: Somewhere deep in the Blue Dwarf's bowels. (Never mind, that
this statement can also apply to certain crewmembers quarters...)
The little metal humvee bobbed in the sewer water and drifted along
as the little hamster commented to himself, "Well, it looks like this
bloody river continues on for quite some distance."
The little hamster glances around in several directions trying to get
his bearings, and then laments to himself, "I don't know how the hell
I'm going to find my way back to base camp in this darkness. Wait a
minute, I think I can use that shallow area up ahead to get out of
the river." as he suddenly gunned the little hummers engine and used
the wheels to slowly get the little car over to the side of a metal
ramp next to a service hatch.
"hmm, I think I can drive up that narrow cliff edge over there, if
I'm careful enough." the little hamster thought to himself, as he
steered the little toy car up onto a large metal pipe, and ran along
it for several hundred feet.
"Ahh good, it's connecting with a large plateau. I should be able to
make good time front there with the flat open road." said the little
hamster to himself, as he slowly guided the toy metal car unto a set
of pipe following along the sewers roof.
The little car darted along the pipes runway for several hundred feet
more, before the exiting the sewer tunnel through a vent, and winding
it's why through several of the engineering area adjacent to the
Mining area. Finally the pipe runway came into the scrap metal parts
sorting room.
The little hamster stopped the humvee and got out, staring at the
huge piles of metal junk in awe, while exclaiming, "Holy cow! This
crater must be the whole planetary systems scrap yard!"
And quickly glancing at the little humvee's non working missile
launcher, the hamster exclaimed, "and just what I need to help me
slap together some anti-guerrilla warfare eqiupment until I get back
to base."
The 4 inch hamster jumped back into the hummer, and slowly drove it
down to an area where he could jump it onto a nearby scrap metal
heap, and made a bumpy trip down to the floor from there.
"Hmm, I need to find something I can use first." thought the hamster
as he searched the junk heaps while driving slowly from one area to
the next. Within minutes of driving around on the floor, the little
hamster drove up a heap of discarded electronics and came accross a
Butane gas-powered soldering iron*. The little hamster dragged it out
of the pile and examined it closely.
"Hmm, a gas fed thruster system... which, I'd estimate, could get up
as hot as 1,400ยบ F. You know, maybe that stupid stint as a medieval
blacksmith will actually come in handy! With this I should be able
come up with a way of working with some of the aluminum, magnesium &
lead scrap I saw a while back. So I all I need now is a weapon idea."
thought the little hamster as he started dragging the gas powered
soldering iron* over to the little humvee.

Several hours later...
The little hamster sat back, patting his latest creation, an odd
looking weapon swathed in duct tape, and scorch marks mounted on top
of the little humvee while commenting, "This oughta work nicely. Now
all I have to do is find some enemy to try it out on..."
White Wolf jumped into the hummer, and quickly drove it out of the
room and through the hallways of engineering. Suddenly, as the little
hamster was taking a corner, Sirus the engineer android, came around
the corner from the opposite direction and accidently kicked the
little hummer flying.
As the metal toy slammed against the far wall, and righted itself
back on it's wheels. The little hamster inside got another nasty
knock on the noggin.
He blinked, and wiped some more blood from his snout with his paw,
and then suddenly spotted Sirus's hand reaching down to pick up the
little hummer. The little hamster screamed and gunned the little car
forward and away from a rather puzzled Sirus.
"I must be back on Pezsentay! Where that crazy AI named 'Bob' took
over the planets automated TK-40 troop killer manufacturing facility
and started cranking out a giant mechanoid army for itself, and the
Space Core special op's team was called into deal with them. I hate
it when I side slip in time. At least now I know what I need to do! I
need to find the head bot which contains the 'Bob' AI in it and
destory it..."
The little hummer sped down the hallway, with the little hamster
glancing out the window and muttering outloud, "Nope, not this one.
And not that one.", as it past various crewmembers at high speed.
